D&D General Ranking your interest in D&D's new lineup

[Marc17]

I chose the Greyhawk stuff which included Icons both for reading and for anything I can pull out of it. I haven't been paying attention to the partnership items, so that's not really considered. Next would come WoW, I'll probably take a look at that to see what it provides. Dark Sun, Star Wars, Dragonlance, Death Saves don't really excite me at all. I'll leave them for somebody else to buy and run if they want.

I'm surprised that I am in the minority, but I am only excited about the Kobold Press Forgotten Realms ... thing (I guess big adventure, but who knows).

The rest is meh..., but I am glad that you guys have something (Darksun, Warcraft, Dragonlance, Eberron, Greyhawk etc.) that you are looking forward to.

(I guess Arcana Unleashed comes out this year and is FR).

Kobold Press is my favorite 3PP, so I am very excited to see what comes.

 

[Desdichado]

I picked Icons and 3rd party outsourcing (which, to be fair, they did with many of the campaigns of 5e too.) But excited is probably too strong a word. Interested enough to follow, certainly, and see what they do, but nothing is buy sight-unseen.

I voted Greyhawk for nostalgia and Andor renewed my interest in Star Wars. I wonder how they will balance Jedi and non-Jedi classes, as Jedi are way more powerful.

 

[TerraDave]

Now that I know that Death Saves is in fact Mike Mearls official variant 5e, I had to change my vote.

(I guess Arcana Unleashed comes out this year and is FR).

The adventure is. The sourcebook seems to be setting-neutral.

Now that I know that Death Saves is in fact Mike Mearls official variant 5e, I had to change my vote.

I feel that, I just did the same thing. While I still thing D&D Icons sounds really positive and interesting, since you can only pick two, my most hyped are now Death Saves and Third Party Publishers working with "official" settings in partnership with D&D.

Now that I know that Death Saves is in fact Mike Mearls official variant 5e, I had to change my vote.

I am toggling between ‘this makes Death Saves more interesting’ and ‘this makes what Mearls is working on less interesting’… I doubt WotC will publish a setting with custom rules that deviates as far from 5.5 as Mike’s game would if he did not have to get WotC’s approval for this. So in the end I did not change my vote…

 

[Bravesteel25]

If I am being honest I'm excited about everything except for maybe the Death Saves thing. It's just not doing anything for me based on the little that has been revealed.

I voted for D&D Icons and Dark Sun.

I am very interested to see what comes forth from the D&D Icons line, especially more Dragonlance.

I am extremely interested in what a new take on Dark Sun is, which only barely edges out my curiosity and interest in a treatment for WoW and Star Wars. I am only a tad bit concerned that they are going to lean so heavily into a mature-themed Dark Sun that it will come across as a little too edgy.

The D&D Beyond features seem cool and a natural evolution/next step for the platform. I still wish they would let us read an actual PDF-style digital version, even if that means checking in with D&D Beyond to ensure we have the right to read it I'd be okay with that.

The third party partnerships are cool as well, but not really a "Wow, that's so incredibly cool and exciting!" for me personally.
